@mehmet j mook

Mate, you've had four bouts to choose from on the main card (on this thread) to discuss, and you just come out so confidently on the one stated. Clearly, it's your special. I haven't bet on the UFC prior and I wouldn't know what to look for to select a worthy candidate of my betting funds, however after reading over some of your previous posts you have a fair track record, and clearly it could be a mistake to go against what appears to be your number-1 best bet.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Cheers,

For anyone who may be interested, I just had a conversation with C/S about the Dollaway fight.  Despite the rules stating -

"At the start of the fight all unmatched bets will be cancelled and the market turned in-play. Please note that this market will not be actively managed therefore, it is the responsibility of all users to manage their in-play positions."

the young lady told me that she could not guarantee that this would be the case.  This decision will be in the hands of "Market Operations" who will not speak to customers.

I asked her straight out what would happen if I left any offers up for later fights and she said she did not know, despite the rules leaving no room for doubt.

I doubt I'll be staying up all night for all the fights and after that conversation I'm not in a rush to put up any offers for fear of being aftertimed a la Dollaway/Hamman.

It may sound a bit precious but it's no wonder Betfair's profits continue to disappoint their shareholders if they can't enforce the rules they advertise to everyone in the world.

No worries mate, glad you finally discovered my post. Had a good little punt on your word at a time when I needed to consolidate some small wins. It's always difficult to go with tips sometimes from people you don't know, because you don't know the person's intention in providing them, but your write-up seemed legitimate and comprehensive, and I gave it a go, glad I did!

Anytime you want to provide me a tip, even if it is through direct message than please do so, or I will just look for you on any associated (mma) threads to follow a good winning opportunity should you furnish such a particular thread with your views.

Thanks kindly for your reply, and all the best,

cool,will do bud. I dont really tell people to bet on something that much unless im pretty sure it will win,not worth the hassel on here,ha! Diego Sanchez is out of the fight vs hughes and the rumour is that kos will be taking the fight,quite a few people on various forums are tipping hughes to beat him,i 100% guarentee that kos will win the fight,hughes wont be able to take him down and defo wont be able to stand with him,im waiting to see if the bookies feel the same way as the people ive spoke to and if they do and kos is a half decent price id jump all over it asap.
Report SwingingPick September 7, 2011 10:00 AM BST
mehmet j mook:

What do you think should the prices be? I ask because one way of finding value is to form one's own prices to compare with the bookie's odds when they are released. Doing so allows one to find a position in the market, instead of being dictated by the market where one should be. I recently tipped a 49-1 winner which I thought should be around 9-1, so I took a position about five times the size of my usual stake, since I was in effect saving that much money by not posting my own prices but taking what was on offer in the market. It's a fun exercise which really begins to help form a solid betting practice and good bank management.

Also, why won't Hughes be able to take Kos down, nor stand with him? One of the things which really impressed me about your previous successful tip, was the addition of solid theory with the absence of any guarantees. In saying that, your impressive theory was its own guarantee, if you take my meaning.

So, what is a half decent price to your understanding, and what is the theory behind such a confident guarantee? Many thanks!

SP

i agree with mehmet hughes's takedowns are no where near as powerful and explosive as they used to be, matt's pretty old at 37 his cardio is going to be suspect imo, he hasn't fought in nearly a year also. the last top 10 Welterweight fighter hughes beat was b.j penn 5 years ago(only due to b.j gassing), his best victory in the last 4-5 years was against almeida.

As for koshcheck he has superior wrestling, is bigger and faster, arguably better stand-up, has better cardio and has consistently been fighting top 10 fighters for the last 4 years.
i cant imagine the price being any higher than 1.33 for kosh
Report mehmet j mook September 10, 2011 9:17 AM BST
i agree his price should be somewhere in the ball park of 1.33 but from what im hearing on mma forums is that alot fancy hughes,so was hoping for something bigger.

In regards to your question about why Hughes wont take kos down,its simply that kos is one of the best wrestlers in the UFC,even the great GSP couldnt take him down and,i know he didnt try a great deal but there is a reason for that and as for why he wont stand with him? Again simply that kos has better stand up with vicious power and hughes chin isnt what it used to be,Kos is at a similar standard to bj and alves imo so have a look back at when hughes last fought those 2. It really is a terrible fight for Hughes,kos is better at everything and has the confidence to go out and destroy Hughes. Ill also be backing Kos for ko of the night and to win by knock out.

Kos is ever improving,hes gone from just a decent wrestler to a very very good all round fighter where as hughes is on his last legs and every fight could be his last.

i like Rocha, mainly because McKenzie isnt UFC quality and will surely get destroyed?

Dunham vs Bailey is a total mismatch but 1/4 isnt too exciting.

Good to see Belcher back, always good to watch.

Not too sure for the main event, Shields should scrape it though.

Agree with the Kos comments, far too good for Hughes.

G'day gents,

Just noticed that the market is up for the Kos v. Hughes fight (ufc 135). As expected and predicted by razz and mehmet j mook Kos is short 1.23, compared to Hughes 4.70. Not much better in mehmet's opinion of Kos by ko/tko with the price being 1.50. I feel confident to have a go at the Kos price, and will, but may put in a few bids and see if I can get a few ticks better prior to this Saturday (usa time) fight.

mehmet j mook when did i say kos didn't have KO power every single mma fighter has KO power if they connect right.  I have always thought kos looks very awkward in his stand up, an after getting jabbed to depth against gsp, an damaging his eye badly. Its his first fight back an i think he is going to be apprehensive about getting hit in the eye. hughes doesn't have the best stand up at all, but i think  he will hold his own against kos. This is why if kos doesn't feel comfortable for whatever reason in standing with hughes, i think he will resort to his amazing wrestling and take hughes down at will for a UD.
